Verse 1
[Em] [D/F#] [G]
It can't be said I'm an early bird

It's ten o'clock before I say a word

Baby, I can never tell
[B7]
How do you sleep so well?

You keep telling me to live right

To go to bed before the daylight

You know you don't gotta pretend
[B7/F#]
Baby, now and then

[Em]
Don't you just wanna wake up, dark as a lake?
[D/F#] [G]

If you're drunk on life, babe, I think it's great

But while in this world

[Em]
I aim low
[D/F#] [G]
I aim true and the ground's where I go
[Am] [C/B] [C]
I work late where I'm free from the phone
And the job gets done
[D] [B7]
But you worry some, I know
[Em]
But who wants to live forever, babe?
[D/F#] [G]
You treat your mouth as if it's Heaven's gate
[Am] [C/B] [C]
The rest of you like you're the TSA
[G] [B7/F#]
I wish I could go along, babe, don't get me wrong
Pre-Chorus 2
[Em]
You know you're bright as the morning, as soft as the rain

If you can sit in a barrel, maybe I'll wait

Until that day
